Bachelder's papers are the single most important collection on the Battle of Gettysburg in existence. Bachelder's noted work occupied a good portion of his adult life to collect and produce.

They are essentially a collection of correspondence with leading participants from the Battle and provide significant insight into the battle and its participants. After the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3, 1863, he studied the terrain via horseback and drew an isometric map of the battlefield. He visited field hospitals, interviewed wounded soldiers of both armies, and determined the position on his map of every unit engaged in the battle. That fall he published a panoramic view of Gettysburg. During visits to the Army's winter quarters, he claims to have interviewed the commanders of every regiment and battery in the Army of the Potomac. He later organized reunions on the field and accompanied veterans over the terrain and placed wooden stakes into the ground to identify important points of the battle. In 1870, noted artist James Walker was commissioned by Bachelder to paint an account of Pickett's Charge, entitled "The Repulse of Longstreet's Assault at the Battle of Gettysburg, " a massive work that measured 7.5 by 20 feet. Bachelder's contribution to Gettysburg was more than artistic. From 1883 to 1887, he served in the position as Superintendent of Tablets and Legends for the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Association, and is probably responsible more than any man for the placement of monuments and battlefield markers, both Union and Confederate. He coined the phrase "Copse of Trees" and invented the concept of a High Water Mark of the Confederacy. All but a few monuments on the battlefield bear some of his influence.
